Co-op Childcare Littlehampton

Great Nursery! My little boy started at the end of the first lockdown. I was unable to personally attend the nursery to view it so was really apprehensive about sending my son somewhere where I have never been. However the virtual tour and communication I received beforehand totally put me at ease. The updates and pictures I get throughout the day keep me informed and reassure me. The drop of and pick-ups are very well organised and although members are staff are stretched for time they always ensure that a brief update is given. I could fault this nursery and their staff! Even those in the office are always helpful and answers queries quickly!

Both my children attend this nursery with my son attending for over two years now. I’ve been really impressed with the nursery from day one, both children settled amazingly and have enjoyed attending ever since. The outside space is great and they use it all year round, all activities are considered and far above what I could do at home with them - so imaginative but also with purpose and learnings. All food is made on-site and my child always loves what is served. Communication is fantastic, I cannot speak more highly of the nursery - you will not be disappointed.

I can not praise the nursery and all the staff more. My daughter has been going since 8 months old and is now in their preschool on site. I would highly recommend it. Caring, professional, person-centered, welcoming and safe. Communication on all aspects of my daughter. Parents app, which helps me with my separation anxiety.

My son loves the nursery and the staff are extremely attentive and supportive. They are always happy to discuss any questions or queries. They provide regular updates throughout the day about, meals, naps, activities etc.

Our daughter has been going to this nursery for nearly 3 years. She looks forward to going every day. She has come on in leaps and bounds. It is credit to the amazing staff including the yummy menu. I would 110% recommend this nursery for anyone

Both my children have attended this nursery with one not due to leave for a few years. They have both settled well, developed really strong relations with their key workers and enjoy the freedom they are given to learn through play. The outside space is fantastic and my youngest especially loves the access he has to the outside whenever he can.

After working in nurseries previously, I thought putting my child in one would be hard work as I'd pick up on things others wouldn't. This nursery, however, I had no worries at all sending my child there. With a completely relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, I was put at ease, my child loves coming here and has come on so much since being here. I would highly recommend the nursery to people.

Lovely nursery which takes such great care of my daughter. The staff are very friendly and approachable and genuinely care for the children they are looking after. Thank you!

This nursery has been fantastic for our daughter, it has really brought her out of herself developing her soft skills, such as social interactions as well as reading and writing. The staff are warm and friendly, our daughter has bonded well to them and looks forward to attending (something she has hated with other nurseries). This Nursery has a lovely warm feeling about it and I know when I leave my daughter is in the best possible hands.

My son started this nursery when he turned one. In January 2019 he settled so well with the girls from ladybirds. He has since moved to caterpillars. His key worker happened to be moving rooms at the same time. This really helped him settle into caterpillars. He has a fantastic bond with his keyworker and it makes it easier to go to work knowing he has gone in happy.

Our review covered our daughters learning experiences and achievements over the course of the last few months.

My child is very happy coming to nursery. She loves her key worker. Her keyworker is a natural with the children and I am at complete ease leaving my child in her care. My daughter has impecable manners which I have the nursery staff to thank for.

My son started in January 2019 and the girls in Ladybirds were all fantastic at settling in both my son and myself! In March, he moved up to Grasshoppers and again the girls were fabulous with him which meant he took no time at all to settle into his new room. I went in recently for a Mother's Day afternoon and was very impressed with the way the staff respond to the needs of each child, which they recognise can be different child to child. My son is really enjoying his time here and gets excited each morning when I ask if he's ready to go to nursery, which I think speaks volumes about the staff and activities offered.

My daughter (now 1) has been attending the nursery since December 2018. She settled in really well and loves the nursery staff that care for her, she is quite clingy to me usually but is now happy to go with the staff in the room. She enjoys the messy play and musical toys, and she seems suitably tired out when she comes home (usually has a nice long nap afterwards). She also loves the food and happily gobbles it all up! I'm pleased that we chose this nursery for our daughter and I'm happy to leave her here as I know she is well looked after and happy.

My daughter loves going to nursery! Never have to make her! She comes home having had a great day, worn out after lots of painting and crafting that I can’t let her do at home as much because of her little brother.

She loves the staff who make such an effort to get to know her.

Flexibility to move booked days around due to flexible working/ shift patterns.

A couple of times nappy should have been changed and got sore but I am sure that could happen anywhere.

The nursery is really nice, the activities are good and my child is happy. I don't like that the washing facilities are separated- hot and cold water, for so small children, they are washing their hands mainly with cold water, which I don't like,and in preschool looks like no one is helping them when they are using the toilet, they still need some help.

I viewed the nursery whilst pregnant and I’m really glad that my child attends. I have already recommended the nursery for a friend due in June 2019 and she is keen to use.

Lovely nursery with lots of toys and activities for the children to do, my daughter has settled well into the pre school room. The only down side is sometimes the lack of communication.
